ORIGIN

This 1998 BMW 740iL shows 48k miles and reportedly remained with the family of its original owner until the seller’s recent acquisition. Power is from a 4.4-liter V8 that drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission, and the car is said to remain largely stock. This long-wheelbase E38 is offered with factory literature, service records dating from new, a clean Carfax report, and a clear Indiana title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in (324) Oxford Green Metallic which is shown up close in several gallery photos below. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage, and the car was reportedly garage kept when not on the road under previous ownership.

The extended-wheelbase iL offered nearly 6″ of extra legroom for the rear passengers over the standard model. Factory 16″ basketweave wheels are shod in Michelin Symmetry tires, with three missing their BMW roundel center decals. The brake rotors, pads, and wear sensors were replaced at each corner in 2016 at 45k miles according to the seller.

Switchgear and instrumentation are photographed up close in the gallery below, with the latter including a digital odometer showing just under 48k miles.

The 4.4-liter M62 V8 was factory rated at 282 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, and sends power to the rear axle via a 5-speed automatic transmission. A 2016 service reportedly included a fluid change and coolant flush as well as replacement of the spark plugs, ignition coils, serpentine and A/C belts, power steering hoses, timing chain cover and valve cover gaskets, and thermostat.

Several photos are provided to illustrate condition of the chassis, underbody, and suspension components.

A stack of maintenance invoices dating from new will be included in the sale.

The Carfax report shows the car has spent its life in Indiana with an accident-free history under four previous owners.
